Campo Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 According to the guide, you must have 5 ships capable of blockading in order to start a blockade. It also says that a blockade will randomly decrease an oponents income by between 1% and 5% randomly. My question is: Is it 1% to 5% per ship? Or is it for each blockade? So, if I were to blockade someone with 5 ships (the amount needed to start a blockade), would their income reduce by between 1% to 5 % or between 5 % to 25% (which is 1% to 5% times 5 ships)?

Hyperion321 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 It's just 1% to 5% in total, not per ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adolf Von Sippycup Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Instead of making a new topic I'll ask here since it's the same subject. Can Blockades only be used if the two nations are at war with each other or can you blockade anyone you want with no war necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viluin Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I've had one that was only 0.75%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admin Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I've had one that was only 0.75%. This is a bug that has now been corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ch33kY Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I had a blockade that damaged their economy 1.7%. Not much really, considering they have a $730 million war-chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adolf Von Sippycup Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 You have to be at war. So the maximum amount of blockade is 30% (Correct me if I'm wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskord Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 So the maximum amount of blockade is 30% (Correct me if I'm wrong) Per day... blockades are cumulative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzptm Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 And they clear when the guy collects. So, if one is being blockaded and not collecting, one is losing that percentage on EVERY uncollected day. Get to 100%, and all the money that would have been collected is GONE.

Aeternos Astramora Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 In order to get to 100%, the person needs to be blockaded at 5% every day for 20 days straight without your opponent counter blockading or collecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By one person But say you have 3 nations blockading it would only take what 7 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeternos Astramora Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) By one personBut say you have 3 nations blockading it would only take what 7 days? Unless it changed or I'm remembering wrong, I believe the Index says a nation can only be blockaded a day. Edit: "Only one blockade may be placed against a nation per day."

zzzptm Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Is that one blockade per attacking nation or each nation can get just one blockade hit, first one in wins for the day? If it's one blockade, total, per day, then not so devastating. If it's one blockade per attacker per day, then the 3:1 curbstomp just got a whole lot curbstompier.
